Craintes de récession Les cours pétroliers sont repartis à la baisse, retombant à des niveaux plus vus depuis avant laguerre en Ukraine, dans un contexte d’inflation record aux Etats-Unis et en zone euro.

Les stocks de brut aux Etats-Unis ont augmenté la semaine dernière selon l’American Petroleum Institute.

Crude oil prices settled lower on recession concerns. Investors focused on the prospect of a large U.S. rate hike later this month that could stem inflation but at the same time hit oil demand.

The American Petroleum Institute shows crude stocks rise in latest week.

In Europe, signals were also bearish for demand with the European Commission cutting its economic growth forecast
and raising the expected inflation rate to 7.6%.
